Cry Innocent, Old Town Hall

Without doubt, the one thing virtually everyone who recognizes the name "Salem, Massachusetts" says is "oh, the witch trials".

"Cry Innocent" is a play which is presented by History Alive, as part of Gordon College, and which depicts the People versus Bridget Bishop on trial, where the audience plays the part of the jury.

This play is presented in Old Town Hall, just a few blocks away from the Hawthorne Hotel. Performances are scheduled from June 19 through August 21, and then on Saturdays only in September. In October the performances again run daily at times during the midday period.

For more information, you can go to www.cryinnocent.com -- there is very complete information there.

Please tell them that Juli from the Hawthorne Hotel sent you because you read about them on our BLOG.

See our Slide Shows BELOW

We will put up slide shows of the different aspects of the hotel from time to time. The slide shows are at the very bottom of the blog. The current shows are a one of the exterior of the Hawthorne Hotel and the surrounding neighborhood in Spring, one of aerial shots taken from the roof of the Hawthorne Hotel, and the third is a step-by-step photo session of the Salem Marine Society, located on the roof of the Hawthorne Hotel. Since the Society is not open to the general public, I thought this would be a good way for you to see it all.Let me know if you have suggestions for other slide shows.Juli
